Isaiah 40:10

Isaiah 40:10

8 The grass withers, the flower fades,
But ^athe word of our God stands forever.”

9 O Zion,
You who bring good tidings,
Get up into the high mountain;
O Jerusalem,
You who bring good tidings,
Lift up your voice with strength,
Lift it up, be not afraid;
Say to the cities of Judah, “Behold your God!”

10 Behold, the Lord God shall come¹ with a strong hand,
And ^aHis arm shall rule for Him;
Behold, ^bHis reward is with Him,
And His¹ work before Him.

11 He will ^afeed His flock like a shepherd;
He will gather the lambs with His arm,
And carry them in His bosom,
And gently lead those who are with young.

12 ^aWho has measured the¹ waters in the hollow of His hand,
Measured heaven with a¹ span
And calculated the dust of the earth in a measure?
Weighed the mountains in scales
And the hills in a balance?

13 ^aWho has directed the Spirit of the Lord,
Or as His counselor has taught Him?

14 With whom did He take counsel, and who instructed Him,
And ^ataught Him in the path of justice?
Who taught Him knowledge,
And showed Him the way of understanding?

John Wesley's Notes

<< Isaiah 40:9

Isaiah 40:11 >>

His arm - He shall need no succours, for his own power shall be sufficient to govern his people, and to destroy his adversaries. His reward - He comes furnished with recompences as well of blessings for his friends, as of vengeance for his enemies. His work - He carries on his work effectually: for that is said in scripture to be before a man which is in his power.
